Sa'i.- !..> / Capital Observations (Special dorreapondence) Washington, August 1.?A feature that has become popular in newspapers is the presentation under an appropriate heading of peculiar and unknown facts, generally by means of pictures or cartoons. One of the oldest and best known is Ripley's ' Relieve It Or Not," and The Chronicle now is running "Odd, Rut Trutf." Some time back the startling profu>.silion svn- presented in one of the paper.-, that "Washington is n >t the capita! of the United Slate-", and the explanation is that after meiging the entile territory of the "District1'of ( oluinhia.". and provided f ?r the proper application of all laws previously passed for the government of the city of Washington. The expression "Washington," as the capital of our country is enduring, to which, should be added "!>. for the. District of Columbia, George Washington desired that the capital be called "Federal City," but the universal sentiment for naming it for the first president prevailed. From time to time there have appeared in this column homely biographical sketches, necessarily very brief, of the members of the president's cabinet, until now there remains only Postmaster General Jas. A. Farley to be covered. He has been so generally discussed, and cussed also to a considerable extent, that there remains not very much more of interest that can be said about him. He ps one of the youngest men in high political life, having been born on May "(), 1SH8, at Grassy Point, X. Y., and has continued a citizen of that >tate, having held various offices under its government. As are must men in public life, he i- a great "joiner." beings, M>ted in no !e.-s than a do/en social clubs and fraternal older.-, lie holds his position by virtue of having been the pre-convenlion manager for Roosevelt, and later as chairman of the national Democratic committee. The last mentioned he still tills, and thereby comes ino.-t of the dissatisfaction because he has not turned the rascals out fast enough to suit the office-hungry Democrats. In the matter of appointments he is the closest adviser of the president, who relies very greatly on him. It i- well known that an exceedingly large proportion of the women of the country advocated in 11)28 the election of Herbert Hoover as president, and of course contributed to the great majority that he then received. While no power .on earth could have brought about his re-election last year his pitifully small popular vote I doubtless was due to some extent to the dissatisfaction <m the part of politically militant women because Hoover had given -to h .-light recognition to the claim- of women in the matter !' appointments to public office. In that re-pect great generosity has l>? m shown by President Roosevelt, whf> seems to be a keen politician as j well as a high grade statesman. He) appointed a woman to lii? ? abinet, the lit -t in history, and ha- awarded to women many other place- of honor and 11-pon-ibihty. Mr-. Ruth Rryan i Owen has been sent as a minister to a Furopean country, Mrs. Rlair Ran- ' nister, a sister of Senator (jlass, has been made assistant treasurer of the Pritod States, Mrs. U. F. McMillan ha- been appointed a.* a member of the Pivil Service Commission, and former Governor Nellie Tuyloe Ross is Director of the MipU In extending congratulations an acquaintance tohl her that he would rather be director of the mint julep, but South Carolinians may not understand that reference after a long |>eriod of state and national prohibition. In addition to the women mentioned, a large number have been appointed to minor offices, in Washington and throughmi the country. D i'.r.g the oai !v dam of tr.e re . ; i., 11.: whop.

Camden Rotary Loses An Honorary Member Clifton McKain w?A to have had charge of the Rotary luncheon at the Hotel Camden this week, but was called out of the city and the president of the club called on Mrs. McKain to act in his place. Mrs, McKain introduced to the club Mrs. Theodoroir and Mr, Novikolt, ^ formerly of Russia but now living in' Petersburg, Va. Both were educated ! in Russia and are musicians of note. { Mrs. Theodoroflf specialized in piano | music and Mr. Novikoif in vdiye, and j she accompanied him on th'tf piano in j several of his vocal selections. This j musical program was very much enjoyed by the club. After the musical program Rev. F. 11. Craighill was introduced to the audience and he spoke on Naturalistic Involution versus Emergent Evolution and his talk showed the result of deep study on the subject. President Hughey Tindal read a letter from John Wilson, of Sumter, telling of the sudden death of C. M. Brand, of Sumter, which occurred in Hendersonville, N. C.? on Wednesday. Mr. Brand was known to his fellow Uotarians a? '^Bullet" Brand, and he and Mr. Wilson seldom missed a meriting of the Camden Rotary Club. Both were originally members of the Sumter club but on account of their faithfulness in attending meetings in both Sumter and Camden clubs, the Camden Rotary Club presented them with, honorary membership badges and a warm welcome always greeted them here by-the local Rotarians on each of their visits. Suitable res >'utiops will be sent to Mr. Brand's family and flowers will be sent by the club for his funeral on Friday morning. A large delegation of local R >tarians will attend thb funeral. Mr. Brand was very popular among tie local Rotarians. The visiting Rotarian was Ttoykir. Freeman,'of Bishopville, and the lo.nl visitor was M. M. John-on, of ( amden. The program next week will be in charge of Marion Iloymun and the following week in charge of J. B. Zemp. Horses and Mules Scarce and Hiffh Clemson College. July 31.?-There has been a decrease of 6.3.13,in horses and mules in the United States in the last ten years, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, head of animal husbandry, calling attention to the fact that work stock is scarce and high in price, and urging the best of care to prolong the usefulness of the present , supply of horses and mules. With plenty of land available, and f with a rather large number of fine j feeds that may be grown in bouth j Carolina, we continue to buy western, feeds, even western roughages. Mr. | Starkey points out. There is no rea- i son why we should not -grow these , feeds at homo and htyve more ample j and more varied rations as one moans of better care, he says. "Oats, for instance, makes a splendid concentrate for hoVses and mules. It is true that the crop was cut short this year by drought, but if our soils had some barnyard manure on them they would stand drought better. Ordinarily oats will make a satisfactory yield in this state, and follownig oats a hay crop can be grown. " "It goes without saying that corn is a good feed for horses and mules. A companion crop of peas or l*eans can be grown with the corn, thus providing fo#' other livestock and soil improvement. "We can grow our own hays to a good advantage. Legume hays, such as soybean and cowpeas may be used, provided they are bright and free from dust. Frequently these hays are mixed w ith such native grasses as | rub grass, which is not objectionable : r.oi -e an i mule feeds. "V,-tch and ??ats. -udan a ^ (>!

Cotton Farmers Called To Meet in Columbia Columbia, Aug. 1,?The cotton farmers <>f South Carolina aro called to meet in (Columbia next Wednesday at 11 o'clock to proteat against the "exhofbitant prices'* proposed in the tentative code of the cotton ginners of the south. J. Roy Jon^s, commissioner of ugriculture, issued the call here today and said he expected to see eyerysection of the state represented at the meeting, ........ . . r, "Numerous protests have been made against the excessive and exhodbitantT" prices which the ginners propose to charge the farmers, this fall for ginning their cbtton, but I feel the time hits come .for the cotton growers of South Carolina to take definite action to protect themselves'!, declared Mr, Jones in his call. The commissioner of agriculture has made a strong fight against the proposed ginners code and is perfecting plans for having the agricultural commissioners of the cotton growing states meet in Washington to protest to Gen. Hugh Johnson when the code comes up for hearing. "I wish to urge every cotton farmer in iSouth Carolina to' attend a meeting to be held in the Auditorium of the ColumJbia Hotel at 11 o'clock next Wednesday morning, August 9, and take necessary action to protect their interests," said Commissioner Jones. At a meeting of ginners-held in Memphis early in July it was proposed to charge upward of $7.50 per bale for ginning, according *1o Mr. Jones, who point.s out that in former years the charges, including bagging and ties, was not more than $1.50 per bale and in most instances less. The head of the agricultural department holds that the prices set up by the ginners is entirely too high and unreasonable and would be a tremendous blow to the farmers of the state. The cotton ginners oJ&South Carolina met in Columbia recently but did not fix a price. However, Mr. Jones says, the ginners of the state were represented at the Memphis meeting which fixed the proposed code carrying the $7.50 per bale rate and now they proposed to abide by whatever action is taken at Washington. "It means hundrdes of thousands of dollars to the cotton growers of the state to keep the price of ginning within reason," declares Mr. Jones. He says he wants to see the ginners treated fairly and get a good return for their work, but the prices they propose are "unfair and exhorbitant and for that reason he urges the farmers of the state to meet in Columbia next Wednesday. Conservation Hoys To Have Home-Coming Blaney, Aug. 2.?everything is now point ing to the home-coming at out camp this week end. With?a mess hall on the grounds and a large amount of heavy work around the camp betng finished, the hoys will take time out to entertain their parents and other members of their families, who are cordially invited to be guests of the camp. 'Saturday and Sunday will both be used for the home-coming. The guests will be introduced to the foresters here and their friends and will be shown over the camp. A base ball game between the club from this camp and another camp club will help provide amusement Saturday afternoon. At one of the meads on both Saturday and Sunday the boys will have the pleasure of entertaining their guests in the dining hall.
